Chapter 55: Wren
readx; Little Peter followed Cardinal Ratfar into the Cromwell Abbey complex in silence. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info The abundance of Gothic buildings along the way dazzled little Peter and their eyes. I just feel that the entire monastery complex looks particularly solemn against the backdrop of these Gothic styles.
Eventually, they came to a building that looked like a church. Cardinal Ratfar took a key from his black monk's robe and carefully opened the door.
After the outside air replaced the air inside the church, the group slowly walked inside. Cardinal Ratfar explained to Little Peter: "This is where I live. If you have something to ask me for, come here, I'm usually there. ”
Little Peter nodded. He looked around and was surprised to find that the church looked very large and simple. It's better to say that it's a church than a private prayer room.
It's not that the church is very small, but it looks very simple compared to the group of imposing buildings I just saw outside. It is not so amazing and has a sense of history at first glance. On the contrary, it looks more quiet and elegant.
It's just that this feeling disappeared when he followed the cardinal around the antechamber to the atrium garden.
He looked at the garden in front of him, which looked green even in the cold winter, and for a moment he didn't know what to make. There was a fountain in the garden that was constantly spraying water into the air. The birds, which were alarmed by the arrival of the group, sounded from time to time, and the whole garden was particularly full of life.
Cardinal Ratfar looked at the garden with satisfaction and kept nodding his head and saying something. Little Peter only heard the words that were cleaned and well maintained.
Ratfar took little Peter and they wandered around his own church and then left. This time, he led them towards a remote corner of the entire complex. When they reached a small, dilapidated-looking building in the northwestern corner of the Cromwell Abbey complex, the cardinal said to them: "This is where you will live from now on." Well, don't look at me like that. I know the building looks pretty dilapidated. But, though I promised André to take care of you, there are certain things that I cannot do as I want in this monastery. Now that you're determined to be here, it's up to you to build a new future, not me. ”
When little Peter heard this, he had no choice but to say that his bitter little face became serious. He said firmly to the other party: "Don't worry. I will definitely make a difference with my own efforts. ”
Cardinal Ratfar smiled with satisfaction and led her into the building, which looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
To Peter's surprise. Although the building looks very dilapidated and gloomy from the outside, when you go inside, you find that the environment is actually not bad. It looks like someone is cleaning it all the time, and it looks very clean and tidy. There is no musty smell in the air due to long-term inactivity, on the contrary, it is easy to breathe and there is no uncomfortable feeling. He couldn't help but think to himself, there must be other people living here.
It was at this moment that Ratfar said to little Peter, "By the way, I forgot to tell you. Be careful when staying here, the rest of the monastery is guarded. However, there is no one to guard it. In addition, there was a monk living in this building before you, so remember not to disturb them. ”
Little Peter and Eva hurriedly assured that they would not disturb each other, and smiled and said that they would not be afraid, on the contrary, they could protect themselves, so please reassure the cardinal.
Cardinal Ratfar nodded in satisfaction when he heard this answer. He earnestly admonished the two of them again, and told them that he must find him in time after they have said something. He waited until the two of them nodded their heads in earnest before he turned to leave.
Little Peter and Eva looked at each other and sighed. The two of them looked around carefully and saw that they were now in the hall on the first floor.
The surroundings are very empty. A very wide staircase leads to the top. They had just visualized the building from the outside, and it was supposed to be five stories tall. He and Eva climbed upstairs with their luggage.
The second and third floors don't look very good and look very dim, and the corridors in the corridors are also occupied by some clutter. So they continued up the stairs. When you get to the fourth floor, the environment is a little better, but it looks like a fire has broken out in a place. Many of the lots are dark and the walls are mottled. They could only climb to the highest fifth floor.
In the corridor on the fifth floor, there were a few crooked candles on some light stands, and there was even a red carpet in the entire corridor. Although the red color looks disgusting in the stomach. However, just by looking at the corridor, you know that the environment on the fifth floor is much better than the other floors. Although there seem to be some places that look like they have been renovated, there are many empty rooms. The two of them went from room to room, and all but one of the rooms had been closed and they couldn't get in. Finally, the two of them picked the opposite room, walked in, and began to clean up.
By the time the two of them were done, it was almost time for dinner. Little Peter touched his shriveled stomach and smiled bitterly, forgetting to ask Ratfar where he should go to eat. Eva walked in and shook her head at little Peter, indicating that there was no dry food in her bag.
The two of them had to go downstairs first to see if they could meet a few kind people for guidance. Before they could reach the lobby on the first floor, they saw the main entrance being pushed open from the outside.
A man covered in black robes walked in. Little Peter squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the sunlight that filtered through the door, but he couldn't tell the gender and age of the other party, and he could only know that he was about the same height and size as himself, although he was not very strong, but he was not thin. The black-robed man was visibly stunned when he saw the two of them, so he stopped at the gate and looked at them.
Little Peter and Eva hurriedly walked two steps in front of each other. He smiled and introduced himself and Eva to each other.
The black-robed man was silent for a moment before he said in a hoarse voice, "Well, you can call me Wren." Welcome, may the Lord bless you. With that, he took a step and prepared to go upstairs to his room.
Little Peter hurriedly shouted, "Well, Wren, do you know where to eat?" ”
Wren stopped and turned to look at him. In a moment he lifted the hat from his head. He sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." Then, without waiting for the two of them to react, he walked out of the door on his own.
Little Peter woke up from the face he had just seen, and hurriedly walked out with Eva after him.
